IRG Chief: Enemy Unable to Militarily Defeat Iran Even in Dreams

By Staff, Agencies

The commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards, Major General Hossein Salami, stressed that “The enemy has realized that it could by no means win a victory over Iran through a military war, which is why military action against the Islamic Republic has been taken off the table.” 

In comments at a conference held in commemoration of Iranian martyrs on Tuesday, Salami said the experience of war on Iran in the 1980s has led the enemies to the conclusion that it is impossible to defeat Iran through military action even in dreams.

“Today, defeating the enemy is not a difficult job and we are fully prepared and strong for beating the enemies in the military arena,” he said, adding that the combination of faith and powerful weapons has turned Iran into an invincible nation.

The commander also highlighted the diminishing impact of sanctions against Iran, saying the country does not care about the sanctions and does not need the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action [JCPOA] anymore either.

Iranian officials have repeatedly underscored that the country will not hesitate to strengthen its military capabilities, including its missile power, which are entirely meant for defense, and that Iran’s defense capabilities will be never subject to negotiations.
